So, as a State Of Events sort of thing... On the 10th of August, a friend came around to stay for the week. On the 15th, a bunch of us go to Eurofurence. We come back on the 23rd, another friend stays over for a few days and I have to get a full picture, a coloured sketch and overlays done from nig…
Hello there! Been a while with a lack of communication, so I thought I'd just shoot a journal towards you guys to let you know the whys and wherefores~ Skype/Steam So, this is mainly towards those who already have me on there. You've probably noticed something about me, and that's that I don't star…
Wie gehts, Tiere? So anyway, here to make a small announcement to you guys. Clearly none of you know what it's gonna be about because titles aren't a thing, so... I will be at EuroFurence 22! So excited! This is gonna be my third furry convention (previous ones were Confuzzled 2012 and 2013), and m…
It's time for a rename! No more CanidaeOokami here. Yep, from now on, I'll be Dark Violet~ Why are you doing this!? Over the past year or so, I've become rather distant from the name "Canidae Ookami". It's not surprising, given the meaning (Canidae = Latin - Genus of dogs, wolves and foxes, and Ook…
Hey gang! First of all, I'm back from Turkey. For those that gave them, thanks for your best wishes! It was a fantastic time; running up and down a few hills, wandering through ancient ruins, getting a proper Turkish bath (plus getting Plaisir ideas in the process), and jumping off a mountain to pa…
Okay guys! I'm afraid it's time for this wolf to head off on a little holiday for a couple of weeks. I'm heading to Turkey! Again! This time, it's :iconWrincewind: and :iconSix~~: who're dragging me along for the fun, so it's bound to be a blast~ Internet access there will be infrequent at best, so…
Heya fuzzies! Just letting all you guys know, I'm going to be heading off to Norway for a week with my University's Hiking Society. Going to be walking up lots of tall mountains and enjoying the no doubt warm and summery weather... above the snow line. Either way, this means no art or uploads for a…
Just something that may tickle the fancy of a few of you guys, since it certainly did so for me! LightSail is a Solar Sailer - a satellite propelled by the sun itself - which is currently undergoing testing. By backing the project, you can be a part of the mission! I'm not gonna say much more on th…
A number of you may recall this picture I did a few months ago, from Okami: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/823599/whirlpool-galaxy Well, turns out that the Whirlpool Galaxy as an actual galaxy. Messier 51, just next to the Plough (or the Big Dipper). Take a look~! http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image…
So http://www.furaffinity.net/user/karaway and http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ickeh finally got me to try out Twitter, touting it as a platform for better spreading around my art and talking to more people. Basically reaching a wider audience. I figured, fiiiiiiiiine, it'll get them to leave me al…

Yes, okay, I'm back from Holiday... well, actually, I was back a couple of days ago but I'M SLOW. I apologise to everyone who was interested in meeting me down in Norfolk, but I'm afraid that: 1) I was away shortly after posting the journal and didn't see anyone, and B) It was a family holiday, and…
Yeah, time to go on holiday for me; I'm off to Norfolk (East of England) with my family. Not away for a long time, just until Friday, at which point you shall have you irregularly scheduled art - including the second part of the YCH and a story to go alongside it~ Take care!
So, okay, this one's a very general question, but it's always one I ask; I think it's so damn important. Someone's hobbies and actions can tell a lot about them, can provide talking points and activities for socialisation, as well as just be a nice interesting question. So feel free to talk about w…
Okay, nice and short. Basically, moving back to Stockport for the summer, and I won't have internet for most of the rest of this month. Oh no! Well, don't fret, I'm kinda looking forward to a brief respite - and the opportunity to play Civ V for six hours straight :P If it really does get too much,…
Simple enough question to satisfy a simple curiosity. No underlying agendas, honest... Where ya all from? Country, state, maybe even your town if you wanna list that :3 (Bonus points given if you list your GPS coordinates, most valuable possessions, and locations of the nearest black market salesme…
The reception gained on a piece of art, a story, etc is dependant on a lot of things; day, time, thumbnail, anything posted with it, and a hefty chunk of luck too (I go into a tad more detail here). Some not-so-good pictures can garner a lot of attention, while better ones go comparatively unnotice…
I'll be closing commissions in 24 hours from now... ish x3 This is because I'm heading back to University soon, and with exams coming up, I don't want a lot of stuff on my plate! You can find the relevant journal here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5640008/ Remember, only sketch and flat commi…
As you get older, people expect you to be mature, calm, and sober. Disappoint them.
I'd like to give a big thank you to all those who donated for the charity sketches! You all raised £33 between you (~$50), which is more than enough to give potentially life saving injections to six children. You can see it all here: http://my.sportrelief.com/sponsor/canidaeookami/ You can view the…
Two things! First, tonight from 7pm GMT (3pm Eastern, 12pm Pacific), I'll be doing Pay-What-You-Want Charity sketches! So if you want a quick 15-30 minute sketch from me, that's the place to be. Example sketches and the notification will be posted at the time! Second, there's now less than 24hrs le…
Alright, this is happening! As some of you may be aware, March is the month of the UK's Red Nose Day, run by Comic Relief (http://www.comicrelief.com/). This is a charity dedicated to eradicating the poverty in this world, and Red Nose Day is an annual event to support this cause. So I've decided t…
So a little background for all you non-brits out there... Red Nose Day is coming up this month! Red Nose Day is a national event based around the charity Comic Relief (https://www.comicrelief.com/). They are based here in the UK and are dedicated to helping build a world free from poverty, and Red…
Another folder I've made, this one's just for any sketches, works in progress, random ideas, or just anything that I don't consider to be full art pieces. Like my Wallpapers/Alternate Versions folder, this one will not appear in my profile, but you will still be notified :P You can find it here, an…
Just a quick note, I've made a folder for alternate versions of my pieces, including Wallpapers, SFW edits, different art styles, etcs. I've set this folder to not appear on my profile page, but it should still appear on the front page of Weasyl and in your notifications. It's somewhat sparse at th…
Mmm, that double negative. Anyway, last week at my University, the Christian Union was running an 'Uncover Jesus' week (Yes, this is a religion journal. Please bear with me though :P). While I am not a Christian (Agnostic, touching on Pagan), I decided to go. Okay, I admit, I initially did this for…
Right, er, I guess this is how one does a journal! Anyway, as of about thirty seconds ago, I've finished uploading all my favourite art of 2012. Which means from now on, most pieces will be as close to new as you can get ^^ Over the course of the year, I'll also be uploading my Café Plaisir stories…
